Easy Racers and the late Garner Martin - since 1979, and that's C&V.

Tim Neenan of Lighthouse Cycles is still building in Santa Ynez, CA and has been building bikes since the 70's.
Also, Chris Pauley, Santa Barbara built for Tierra Cycles with Greg Diamond in the 80's
And if you want a sense for the environment of California bicycle creation look up the Cycle Smiths on Mark Bulgier's fantastic site: https://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/cyclesmiths/
and look up the many rememberances of the early Masi years on CR. IMO the Carlesbad Masi was a formative hotbed for the California talent in the '70s.
